This isn't 1939. Today we have:
1) The enemy within
2) Political correctness
3) Hostile media
4) Instant media (how about embedded reporters with live videocams on Guadocanal)?
Would we have won WWII with that in the mix? And add in a population much less willing to make sacrifices in lifestyle and blood (I believe) than the 'Greatest Generation'.
I don't know, but a lot of people who lived through WWII say 'no'. Not if the population really knew the truth and was exposed to the carnage to the Allied troops in the first years of the war. A lot of that was censored.
However, I do think that if, and that is a big if, the west does win, it won't even start to fight much less win, until 100,000s or more likely millions die in terrorist attacks here - attacks pural - one won't be enough, just like 911 was not enough.
>Imagine the lives that could have been spared from WWII had Europe taken action and defeated Germany when Hitler
annexed the Sudatenland!
Neville Chamberlain - and the situation is far, far worse today than then.
How is the way we're fight this war PC? I'm talking about how the government is fighting it.
